What size aluminum wire for a 220v 200a service in conduit undrreground at 180 ft?
250 MCM aluminum minimum
What is the required wire size for 100?
A 100 amp service requires that you use AWG 4 copper wire or AWG 2 aluminum wire.
What size aluminum wire for 100 amps undergroundservice 60 feet from meter?
A 3/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 150 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system. This size will allow the conductor to be loaded to 120 amps. 150 x 80% = 120 Conductors are only allowed to be loaded to 80% or their rated capacity. If you need the full 150 amps then you would need to use a wire with a rating of 190 amps. 190 x 80% = 152 amps A 4/0 aluminum conductor will limit the voltage drop to 3% or less when supplying 190 amps for 150 feet on a 240 volt system.
What is the required wire size wire for 100 amp service?
A #3 copper wire with an insulation factor of 75 and 90 degrees C is rated at 100 and 105 amps respectively.
What size ground wire for 100a service?

Can aluminum 600v wire work a 40 amp breaker?
Wire size is rated by Amperes of current. You did not mention the wire size of the aluminum wire, so there is no way to answer your question. The voltage rating is more a rating of how good the insulation around the wire is.
What size amp circuit breaker should be used in a kitchen with aluminum wire?
Don't use aluminum wire inside the house.

Thank you Is it possible to do the wiring in aluminum or is that old school?
Today the only use of aluminum wire is in service entrances and underground feeds where the larger sizes are needed. By using aluminum the overall project wire costs are kept to a minimum even with the bigger size needed over copper. Wiring branch circuit in aluminum has not been vogue for many years now.
